So what does it take to win your users back through a single error page? And most importantly, what exactly is a 404 page?

What is a 404 page?

Essentially, 404 page is the error page that displays to your users when they go to a page that doesn’t exist within your active website.

First and foremost, you need to know that as a result of a broken link, 404 pages are bound to lower your UX. Fixing your broken links is an important task unless you want to lose search engines’ trust. That’s the best advice to get here.

No matter how hard you try, however, the possibility of stumbling upon an unexistent webpage remains. That’s why once your users have experienced the unpleasant error, it’s crucial to turn the situation in your favor. The best method is incorporating creative 404 pages into your websites keeping people so entertained that they can’t get mad at you.

Not everyone is supposed to understand a joke. What really matters is that the message gets to the right people. Bret Victor knows that and that’s why his 404 page refers to the iconic Magritte painting.

Former Barcelona striker, Samuel Eto’o has claimed he was the reason behind the team’s successes under ex-manager Pep Guardiola, not fellow forward, Lionel Messi as speculated. Messi, who is currently in Manchester ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League quarter-final against the Red Devils, is believed to be the star behind the Barca’s success streak at the Champions League about a decade ago. Both Eto’o and Messi partnered in two Champions League finals, a 2-0 win in Rome 10 years ago and the 2011 win at Wembley. These titles add to two more European honours and nine La Liga titles.
